If you have never attended one of these events, you have really missed something. The lake, as the sun sets, lights up with fishing lanterns all over the place. It’s like a little city lighting up out of nowhere.
Pokanoka’s Cafe will be open until 4pm for food and drinks. Lakeside Bait, Tackle, and Boat Rental will be open until 5pm so that you can get bait and tackle. Shabbona Lake staff want to remind everyone to always be careful on first ice. Never fish alone and always check the ice as you proceed to your favorite spots.
Here are the rules:
1. Park will be open till 10 PM
2. You must be out of the Park by 10 PM
3. Fishing ends at 9:30 PM, so you have time to pack up and be out of the Park by 10 PM
4. Please don’t abuse these rules, otherwise they will lose the privilege
